In 1956, the Deutsche Stahllamelle Hünnebeck GmbH in Lintorf erected a plant with 16 halls, several administration buildings as well as a stockyard for the production of steel-tube props and telescopic ceiling beams on its 155,000 sqm large premises with private railway siding.
On 31 August 2003, the American investment company Sun Capital acquired most shares of Hünnebeck GmbH and its 9 European subsidiaries at that time.
As of November 2005, Hünnebeck officially became part of the Access Services division of the American Harsco Corporation, situated in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
This gave rise to a global supplier of formwork, scaffolding and powered access equipment as well as industrial services with sales of approximately 1.11 billion US dollars (2011).
• Power Plant Boxberg, Germany – Great amounts of formwork and scaffolding equipment as well as intensive technical supervision were Hünnebeck's main contributions.
